Hi there recently I've been having a problem with my internet where the ping spikes like crazy every now and again for no reason sometimes. I only notice a problem on my PC where the ping goes from 30 to 200 all the way up to 6-7 thousand. Now I have made a change to my drivers since my motherboard has Killer E2200 I took off the killer network manager and just installed the driver but I believe this was happening before that but I don't really know what to do at this point. Is it my ISP possibly? Or my something to do with the computer since everything else seems to work fine on my network? This hasn't been happening this bad all the time but my internet was never the best either i just am curious about what could be causing these horrific spikes. Thanks

That is likely traffic on your ISP. If you have cable internet, there can be upwards to 130 people on the same segment with you, and if multiple people are watching Netflix, you would get latency issues like this. Call your ISP and have them troubleshoot the issue. Sometimes, (not often at all, but sometimes) they are willing to upgrade a circuit to properly serve their customers.
